The Chapel, Old Royal Naval College

Haydn - The Creation

Directed
by Nicholas Kraemer, Trinity Laban Soloists, Chorus and Classical
Orchestra perform Haydn’s renowned oratorio. Written in three parts and
with a text taken from John Milton’s Paradise Lost, the Book of Genesis
and the Book of Psalms, this work depicts the creation of the world.

An Ensemble of all things early: recorders, viols, voices, renaissance violin, crumhorns..Awake! Awake!
In this year of 2012, the year of the London Olympics and
the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, what better way to celebrate than with a
programme of English ballads and dances set for the plays of England’s
greatest ever playwright, William Shakespeare, interspersed with dance
tunes from the famous ‘English Dancing Master’

Friday 9th November 7.30pm The Sixteen

A Golden Age - music by Scarlatti, Lotti, Melgas, Rebelo and Caldara.
Conducted by Harry Christophers

This
glorious concert programme presents composers whose origins are either
in Portugal or Italy and whose music is at times reflective, uplifting
and always inspired.

Most of the music in this programme is distinctly
Portuguese; Rebelo’s sumptuous setting of Panis Angelicus is almost
opulent while Melgas’ lamentations are deeply prayerful yet full of
hope. There is no doubt, however, that the tour de force is Scarlatti’s
virtuosic setting of the Stabat Mater.
